Respected all Kindly lend supporting hand Regards Sanjeev Sachdeva Community Support for the Disabled and the Elderly (CSDE India) launched Introduction to CSDE-India A meeting of the like-minded representatives of a few voluntary organizations on 24th February, 2008, led to the emergence of CSDE India. The participants unanimously decided that the aim of the initiative shall be to provide social and community support to the persons with disabilities and elderly, within the jurisdiction of NCT of Delhi. To start with, need-based volunteer services would be provided to the people with disabilities and the elderly. Objectives of CSDE India are: 1. To provide Services of Volunteers to the persons with disabilities and the elderly based on their needs and requirements. 2. To create a resource pool of dedicated and committed volunteers. 3. To conduct training and sensitization programmes for the volunteers. 4. To create and evolve sustainable mechanism for Personal Carers Support Services (PCSS) and training of Care-Givers for the persons with disabilities and the elderly. 5. Setting up institutional mechanism for above and doing all such activities incidental and necessary to achieve the above objectives. Plan of Action 1. To identify, initially in Delhi, the persons with disabilities and the elderly who need such services and also the volunteers who are willing to offer their services. 2. Compile detailed assessment of the needs of the above users requiring services. 3. Arrange short-term training of volunteers. 4. Link the volunteers with the persons with disabilities/ elderly after matching the need with the services. Care would be taken that both, the volunteer and the person requiring the services, belong to the same district so that the volunteer doesn't have to travel beyond the radius of 8 kms. 5. The volunteers can offer their services free of cost, if they can afford. Otherwise, CSDE would pay the honorarium of Rs. 125/ day for approx. 4-6 hrs. to them. 6.
